Laundry living

Scandi style

This dream of a laundry is minimalist but functional. The raw wood and white sink space work well with the white goods. The Bonsai tree is the perfect (low maintenance) touch that turns a simple space serene.

Multi purpose

Most homes in the UK don’t have laundries; those white goods live in the kitchen. It’s a great way to maximise space – especially with apartment living. But the kitchen isn’t the only room you can merge with a laundry. This clever use of a playroom turns it into a laundry, sewing room, and a lounge and rumpus room for kids.

Green room

Bring the outdoors inside with a perfectly placed window that looks out on the garden. A laundry doesn’t have to be fully enclosed and shut off. Giving it natural light and greenery makes it a much more pleasant room.

Miss/Mister Organised

This laundry reminds us of Bree Van De Kamp from Desperate Housewives. Surely this is exactly what hers looked like? If you have the space, why not make it a super functional, organised haven with purpose-built cupboards for ironing and linen.

On trend

This stylish laundry ticks off so many major trends. We’re used to seeing the ultra popular subway tiles in bathrooms and kitchens, and they work just as well in the laundry. The lovely robins egg blue of the cabinets makes the room pretty and the stainless steal appliances give it a modern edge.

Chic and clever

This divine laundry/wardrobe is a brilliant idea. What could be easier than having your washer and dryer in your walk-in wardrobe? It will certainly make doing the laundry much easier. It's also decked out in the colour of the moment, sage green.

Bold

Just because it’s a laundry and guests don’t tend to go in there, doesn’t mean you can’t style it up with a bold colour palette. Make the space just as nice as the rest of your home. You spend enough time in there, you might as well like the way it looks! Another trending colour, indigo blue, has been used in this space to give it oomph.

Luxury

If Mariah Carey had to do her own laundry we’re pretty sure this is what it would look like. What could be more decedent and fabulous than a chartreuse chaise lounge to rest upon as you wait for the cycle to finish?

Blue mood

This laundry, quite frankly, is prettier than most people’s bedrooms. Who even knew such a stunning laundry could exist!? The beautiful wallpaper is by de Gournay, the most luxurious wallpaper company in the world. The wallpaper is inspired by A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, the most famous work of 12th century traditional Chinese painter, Wang Ximeng. Extra points for the dog shower, that again is more luxurious than most peoples’ bathrooms.
